Terran Confederation F-57 Sabre - colors from Free Republic of Land Reich Navy
This very nice ship is original of the old game of ships for PC Wing Commander II, it is one of the most attractive of the series, a lot because of the appearance of airplane of the decade of 50, or of solitary fighter of the Japanese cartoon like Star Blazers and other so many.
As many should know the first games of the franchise don’t use models 3D, but sprites, then the alternative is either to accomplish scratchbuildings or to use mods models for other more modern games…
F-57 was extracted of a mod for the game Freelancer, my only frustration is that the textures of the model are not of the navy of the Terran Confederation in the traditional Green and Gray, but in the colors of the Republic Free from Landreich (who knows the games of the series well will understand of what am writing)
The model is not very easy of building, therefore he has few groups modulated in function that the ship has many forms curves and several angle breaks. But with some patience and care is finished…
The only details the more inserted in the model was the pilot’s complete cockpit and landing gear done. The model went reescale to the 1/200.
The fighter F-57 Sabre, it was developed during the Kilrath War, to operate and later to supplant the variants of the heavy figher Scimitar. It is a heavy fighter for atmospheric operations and in the deep space, that four-engined plane in spite of the size was a formidable combat opponent counting with heavy cannon armament and a great varieties of hard points, operating the whole tactical armament of the Confederation practically in terms of missiles could also be adapted to operate with torpedos and space mines…
With the coming of the Free Republic of Landreich, still during the war as a desertion of the Terran Confederation plentiful military material fell in the new government’s hands among those eight complete squadrons of Sabres that were used together with the one of the Confederation in important battles to the end of the Kilrath War…
The Sabre continued in use during the decade of 70 for the forces of the Confederation, especially the one of planetary defense, but it was substituted by fighters of new generation as Hellcat, Arrow and Phanter.

KF-100 Dralthi Fighter from Imperial Kilrath
This simple model represents the standard Fighter of the Imperial Kilrath Navy in the first two games Wing Commander: Dralthi. Certainly it will please the beginners for the simplicity and final result, being ready in few hours. The model of the pictures was climbed for 1/200 and some details were increased the more as interior and landing gear. The files PDO contained in the zip open with Pepakura Viewer.
No there is any ship that more it symbolizes the Empire of Kilrah that the Dralthi fighter with his characteristic bat wing. A succession of initial successes in space combats combined with his different silouette printed Dralthi in their human opponents’ minds a superiority aspect (similar to the that happened to the allied pilots in the II World war (1939-1945) when faced the Japanese fighter Mistubishi A6M2 Zero). This psychological impact was also caused by the gigantic production of this model - it was the more comun fighter found in the theater of operations Vega.
The first production model, KF-100 is minuscule compared to the fighters of the Terran Confederation, he entered in service in 2529, it was used initially in 2594 during the invasion of the Republic of Varni and in 2598 battle against Mantu. When the conflict with the Terran Confederation began to be serious, KF-100 Dralthi was one of Kilrath’s Empire main light/medium fighters. Although supplanted by subsequent models, KF-100 stayed in service until the last year of the Campaign of Vega - making a fundamental paper in the destruction of the Pegasus Naval Base.
The second production version (simply classified like Dralthi) she entered in service in 2640. The new model was characterized by a series of technical improvements, including life support, extended autonomy and the introduction of an ejection system. They made the debut during an attack in the System Prima Epsilon, attacking of surprise the aircraft carrier TCS Tiger Claw.
However, Dralthi was not an engineering marvel Kilrathi: The great ovaloid wings blocked visibility on the sides of the fighter, forcing the kilrath pilots to dive instead of yawing during combat. And the worst, the generators of the shields were pursued by small technical problems - if they were worked and very frequently used and in an abrupt way they ended up failing completely.
The ace Kilrathi that Dralthi flew was Dakhath Sihkag’s well-known and merciless Nar (nicknamed of “Deathstroke”) it was credited him 78 kills in dogfights space-for-space in a Dralthi KF-100 of initial series during the last years of the Campaign of Vega. His fighter was shot down in 2654 by the 1st Lieutenant Tanaka Mariko.
Dralthi was happened in the production lines in 2655 for Dralthi Mk II. (adapted text of Wing Commander Combat Information Center: http://www.wcnews.com /)

The model 3D vein of the repository Wing Commander 3D there is plenty available time in the internet, (http://wcmdf.solsector.net/index.htm) but without updatings there is a long time. In the pictures the model presents small customizações, it was made a canopy of transparent acetate with frame in paper sulfite, the whole interior including seats and panels, the pipes of the cannons were made with tooth toothpicks, painted with acrylic paint and the landing gear was included. The files PDO open with Pepakura Viewer.
Jalthi is a ultra heavy fighter become projected to attack larger ships as cargo ships and battle cruisers. It is known by the pilots of the Terran Confederation as six shots because of his devastating armament of pipe composed six gigantic cannons of particles. In spite of many pilots to consider the Jalthi “roast beef”, for his low speed, maneuverability and gigantic size.
However military analysts consider him one of the most impressive pieces of the arsenal of the cats, projected as a great flying wing, he has two nuclear reactors coupled independent of the propulsion system to feed the six cannons, it carries enough fuel for long missions and it can carry interns and externally almost the whole type of intelligent armament of the arsenal kilrath besides conventional atmospheric weapons, since the characteristics of flight of Jalthi in atmospheres of oxygen are excellent.
Jalthi were active during the whole first half of the Kilrath War, mainly during the Vega campaign , one of their major aces was the nobleman Baktosh nar Kiranka a prominent one political that obtained 34 kills a Jalthi.
This impressive apparel was removed of service after 2668 being still assets during the battle of the Earth, they were substituted progressively by fighters technologically superiors like Gratha and Hhriss.

F-44G Rapier II in the colors of TCS Concordia
Few military spacecraft have achieved the sheer fame of the F-44 Rapier II. The Rapier’s sleek lines and famous silhouette have become synonymous with the might of the Confederation military - and will remain forever enshrined in the minds of a generation of young men and women who grew up dreaming of top gun heroics.
The Rapier II first saw combat onboard the TCS Tiger’s Claw: a pair of YF-44s were assigned to the carrier for active duty testing during the invasion of the Gimle System. Major Michael “Iceman” Casey and Captain Jeanette “Angel” Devereaux of Star Slayer squadron credited the fighter’s first space to space kills during a three point patrol mission. The prototypes performed magnificently and the same carrier soon recieved the first batch of production models, which Black Lion squadron would fly during the battle for Kurosawa. By the invasion of Venice, Rapier II squadrons were assigned to both the Tiger’s Claw and the Kyoto.
Within a year, the F-44A had been replaced on the assembly lines by the F-44B, which boasted a larger missile loadout and a limited use jump drive. A combination of cost and technical issues would force the removel of the jump drive from future iterations - making the F-44B unique among the Rapier II’s lineage. A and B model Rapier IIs served with distinction during Operation Thor’s Hammer, the assault on Jakarta and the defense of Firekka. A pair of F-44A’s even flew off of Col. James Taggart’s famous intelligence ship, the Bonnie Heather.
In the late fifties the Rapier II went through a significant redesign of its spaceframe, reducing the overall size and mass. The new design premiered in the popular F-44C model, which would go on to serve onboard escort carriers through the late sixties. F-44Cs flew with distinction off of the TCS Tarawa during Operation Backlash and the Third Enigma Campaign.
Finally, the G and H models served off of fleet carriers through the Battle of Terra in 2668. The TCS Concordia’s F-44G Rapier II squadron, with its distinctive lightning bolt tails, was considered to be the single finest active duty fighter unit in the Space Forces.
Surplus Rapier IIs served with both the Free Republic of the Landreich and the Union of Border Worlds through the mid 2670s.
